Ganbanyoku Hot Yoga

Service Description

Ganbanyoku Yoga (岩盤浴ヨガ) combines yoga practice with the warmth of a heated stone floor. It is similar to hot yoga, but instead of practicing in a heated studio, participants perform yoga on warm natural stone beds used in Ganbanyoku (Japanese hot stone therapy). 🌿 What happens during Ganbanyoku Yoga? Participants lie or sit on warm stone surfaces and perform gentle yoga movements and breathing exercises. The heat helps the body gradually warm up, so the session can feel more relaxing than conventional yoga. 🧘 Warm up & breathing – Relax the body and focus on breathing. 🌡️ Gentle yoga movements – Stretch and move while enjoying the warmth of the stones. 💧 Sweating – The warm environment encourages sweating. 😌 Relaxation – Finish with slower movements, breathing, and relaxation. ✨ Why people enjoy it Deep relaxation – The warmth can help create a calm, soothing environment.
